Dental Implant Workflow in CAD/CAM

Dental implant treatments have experienced an uptrend in recent years. Patients and dental practitioners prefer the more conservative dental treatment protocol, rather than the multi-unit bridge that involves prepping down unaffected teeth. The means by which implants are placed in the bone have become more precise with the advent of emerging technology like cone beam technology and CAD/CAM. The enhanced precision in placement provides better outcomes and longevity for the dental restoration and overall dental health of the patient. This paper demonstrates the advantages of using CAD/CAM in dental implant workflow.
